Episode Report Card Aaron: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT American Pie
By Aaron | Season 4 | Episode 13 | Aired on 01.30.2001
Sid decides to ignore this turn of events completely, and runs back up to the house. She spots 10-10-2Dewey, who spins around just like R2-D2ewey does every time he gets a shock. Sid calls out to him, but he just beeps incoherently and collapses, revealing a blood-soaked Munch. Sid flees to the nearby police car and locks herself inside. She's feeling pretty safe, until Munch appears at the window, keys in hand. That one's stolen from another movie too, and don't think it isn't killing me that I can't remember which one. There's some business with Munch opening and closing various doors, and then he climbs inside and Sid kicks him in the (of course) gut. How is it that the smallest person in the movie keeps kicking everyone's ass? She runs, and Munch vanishes. Sid moves over to 10-10-2Dewey and picks up his gun. Just then, Randy and Lillard appear, each claiming that the other is the killer. It quickly degenerates into a big he said/she said shouting match (and I'm not going to tell you which is which, but you can ask Freddie Prinze Jr.). They both beg for her assistance. Sid looks torn, but finally says "I choose me" (or possibly "I choo-choo-choose me" (or possibly (actually) nothing at all)) and slams the door on both their asses. Behind her, Skeet falls down the steps, and that almost made putting up with him until this point worthwhile. He convinces Sid to give him the gun. Skeet lets Randy in, and we get a glamour shot as he says, "We all go a little mad sometimes," and shoots Randy in the chest. Unlike me, Skeet gives the tm -- Norman Bates in Psycho. At least my rip-off wasn't as bad as Van Sant's. Skeet licks his bloody finger and says, "Corn syrup. Yum." See, I told you. Now Lillard appears and demonstrates the little piece of plastic that we're supposed to believe is creating the "scary" voice effect. They taunt Sid, explaining how they framed Liev "Wake Me For The Sequel" Schreiber for her mother's murder. Sid inquires as to their ultimate motives, but they seem to feel that motives are boring and incidental. Then Skeet explains his (his dad slept with her mom or something) and I can confirm that yes, they are boring and incidental. Lillard tells her that they have one more surprise for her, and "it's a scream, baby." Wes and Williamson stop slobbering all over each other on the commentary soundtrack to reaffirm for the ninth time that Scream is the greatest movie title ever. Putting aside for the moment the obvious slight to The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (check the cast!), I'd just like to point out that while Scream is indeed multivalent, it's not necessarily profound, so shut up, Kevin. The surprise turns out to be the Randy-predicted father, who they've got bound and gagged in a closet. Now for the fun part: Skeet and Lillard stab each other repeatedly, which is apparently somehow part of their brilliant plan. Actually, I don't care about the reasons. I just like watching in slow-motion. Sid tells them, "You've both seen too many movies." They're not the only ones. Skeet replies, "Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative," which is actually a pretty good line that gets ruined by Skeet's atrocious delivery.Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19Next
